The Karate Kid (2010) Movie Review

Now Playing - The Movie Review Podcast

Let that be a lesson to you kids - always hang up your jacket!

More than 25 years after Daniel LaRusso swept the leg and crane-kicked his way into pop culture, The Karate Kid arrives as a new-generation reboot. This time, the story moves to China, trades karate for kung fu, and stars Jaden Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) alongside Jackie Chan (Rush Hour) in the mentor role made famous by Pat Morita in the 1984 original. Filmed on location in Beijing and aiming for a broader international scale, the remake keeps the underdog framework but shifts the cultural backdrop and fighting style. Does this retelling capture the heart and emotional punch that made the original a classic, or is it another remake that understands the moves but not the meaning? The hosts step onto the mat to decide.
